The company reported a net loss for the quarter of $7.9 million, or 22 cents per share, compared to a net loss of $3.7 million, or 10 cents per share, for the same period last year, which included a gain of 8 cents a share from fuel derivatives and sale of inventory.

"In an industry that has trended towards overall reduced capacity, Denver International Airport was an anomaly, adding the second-greatest number of seats of the top 33 airports in the country on a year-over-year basis for the fiscal fourth quarter," Frontier President and Chief Executive Jeff Potter said in a statement.
Looking ahead to the summer, Frontier expects to see year-over-year seat capacity growth at Denver International, but at a lower percentage increase than in this year's March quarter, he said.
Potter said Frontier expects to return to profitability in the current June quarter.
